Webinars on social media and non-involvement in politics
There are still places available in the two webinars to discuss social media and non-involvement in politics, which will be hosted on Monday 13 January 2020 (youth and young professionals) and Tuesday 14 January 2020 (all other believers).

The messages are now also available in Persian:

2 March 2013 – Persian
